3rd driving today - Rather fed up just now.. but had cooled down much much.. This time round was taught by another instructor, his facial expression looks fed up and the way he talks too.. I know.. He corrected my steering and the way to use the clutch, saying that the way I turn the steering wheel is wrong and messy.. which the previous instructor didn't say anything about this.. He keep saying he should not be teaching me all these already and the previous instructor should have already covered bla bla... keep comparing that some instructors might have alot of "pattern" (their own way and not following the book) and for him he follow closely to those shown in the advance theory & traffic police handbooks. Compare and say say say.. haiz.. feel like want to sleep at first. But! I did learn quite abit today about the correct way of steering (half turn & full turn), as well as where my hands should be positioned while turning and more practise on the clutch pedal (previous instructor did touched on too). Quite glad but am alittle confused.. their teaching methods are so different.. This current instructor will pin point my mistake right away. But, he will also compliment you when you do well.

To say, I dun really like this instructor but his teaching method is still alright and more strict, which is good. I prefer the previous instructor cos felt more relaxed under his coaching and think he's more patient or should I say lenient? Maybe he's more open to new ways of teaching. Hmm.. there are always pros and cons right. But have to pay additional $10.70 per lesson for a fixed instructor.. exp ah.. Wonder is it better..?

Met with a little dramatic scene just now.. As I reached my floor level, a small girl was shouting for some help.. two kids (her friends) were stucked in the lift, i called the lift maintenance hotline, 1800 275 5555. The maintenance technician was fast or partly because the kids have been stucked in the lift for quite some time. Anyway, the technician got it fix within minutes and the kids pulled out. There were some procedures before he left.. have to take down certain particulars of the two kids, like their names and where they live. During the "rescuing" process.. many other kids were around too.. their friends.. super noisy and "chaotic" haha.. so much noise shouting here and there till the technician also cannot tahan.. kids nowadays ha... and to these little kiddies i'm an auntie.. how time flies~ hee.. and there's this little boy who is a chinese-malay.. in his malay costume, haha quite cute. ^-^

Didn't do much things today.. morning 10+ woke up, had my brunch, mama cook.. at the same time watching Chn U's repeat Taiwan drama (Prince turn frog), met up Lai a while at Bedok and now i'm home blogging! Ha.. I like home-cooked food. :)

Hari Raya is just round the corner.. hope we can gather with Yati again soon! It's been some time..

Just came back from Batam last weekend (Mooncake Festival?), nice trip! Five of us.. Pk, Huizhen, Yanquan, Amelia and me. Hehe photos up in Friendster and Facebook. Shall wait for Pk's update in her blog ha..

Taking my driving now! My 2nd lesson yesterday. Hmm.. excited but nervous esp during the 1st lesson, hoping that the instructor dun ask me to drive. But, guess it's just a matter of getting used to the car and main thing is not to be afraid (very very important!). Once you are afraid and starts to panic, you will not be able to control the car well. Haha the instructor keep telling me not to tailgate.. my bad habit! And then when the front car stops, I start to panic cos the distance is too near.. Another bad habit - vision focus only at one side. Have to look further, further.. need to brush up on my turning for sure! Next lesson will be on 30/9/08 @ 16:25.
:) have to apply for early dismissal liao..

Resting at home today.. just a short update though. Have a good day, my friends! :)
